The Everett Silvertips, that is.<\/p>\n
A.J. received some tickets to the Everett Silvertips vs. Portland Winterhawks ice hockey game for this past Sunday, and we had such a great time. In my recent memory, I had only been to one hockey game before (St. Louis Blues) – and that arena was so big and we were so far away… and there was more fighting than playing… and it wasn’t the most engaging sporting event to watch. But this game was right at my level – the new Everett Events Center was quite nice, the crowd was quite a bit smaller than in St. Louis (but for whatever reason they seemed about 5 times as loud!) and the teams were more focused on playing the game than stripping off their helmets and taking the other guys out. Of course there was still plenty of checking up against the glass, which is interesting to watch, but the game went on. Overall a very fun time, though I did start to feel bad for the Portland team when Everett was up 4-0, then 5-0, then finally 6-0 at the end of the game.<\/p>\n
